Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: [Fwd: Thingy] Please read!

[Denise Meier and/or Michael Jacob (dmmj]

Look, I don't want to sound like a grinch. But any examination of this
letter will show you how silly it is. How on earth is the American Cancer
Society going to find out how many people you sent this to? 

Can I make a request that we confine this list to Cohousing discussions? 

Ranting in Northern California,
